14 But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured and not on the Sabbath day.”(A) 15 But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it to water?(B) 16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”(C)

14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,(A) the synagogue leader(B) said to the people, “There are six days for work.(C) So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?(D) 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,(E) whom Satan(F) has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”

16 For I am now raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for the perishing, or seek the wandering,[a] or heal the maimed, or nourish the healthy,[b] but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.

17 Oh, my worthless shepherd,
    who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm
    and his right eye!
Let his arm be completely withered,
    his right eye utterly blinded!”(A)

May the sword strike his arm(B) and his right eye!

You eat the fat; you clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatted calves, but you do not feed the sheep.(A) You have not strengthened the weak; you have not healed the sick; you have not bound up the injured; you have not brought back the strays; you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them.(B) So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and scattered they became food for all the wild animals.(C)

I looked up and saw a ram standing beside the gate.[a] It had two horns. Both horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up second.(A) I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. All beasts were powerless to withstand it, and no one could rescue from its power; it did as it pleased and became strong.(B)

As I was watching, a male goat appeared from the west, coming across the face of the whole earth without touching the ground. The goat had a horn[b] between its eyes.(C) It came toward the ram with the two horns that I had seen standing beside the gate,[c] and it ran at it with savage force.(D) I saw it approaching the ram. It was enraged against it and struck the ram, breaking its two horns. The ram did not have power to withstand it; it threw the ram down to the ground and trampled upon it, and there was no one who could rescue the ram from its power.(E) Then the male goat grew exceedingly great, but at the height of its power the great horn was broken, and in its place there came up four prominent horns toward the four winds of heaven.(F)

Out of one of them came another[d] horn, a little one, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.(G) 10 It grew as high as the host of heaven. It threw down to earth some of the host and some of the stars and trampled on them.(H)

I looked up,(A) and there before me was a ram(B) with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later. I watched the ram as it charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power.(C) It did as it pleased(D) and became great.

As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage. I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it,(E) and none could rescue the ram from its power.(F) The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off,(G) and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.(H)

Out of one of them came another horn, which started small(I) but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.(J) 10 It grew until it reached(K) the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth(L) and trampled(M) on them.
